Chelsea Clinton Opens the Door... to Something

Chelsea Clinton might have learned a few things from her mother about addressing the possibility of future elected office.

“Right now I'm grateful to live in a city, a state and a country where I strongly support my mayor, my governor, my president and my senators and my representative,” said Clinton, in an exclusive interview with her employer, NBC News. “If at some point that weren't true and I thought I could make a meaningful and measurably greater impact, I'd have to ask and answer that question.”

Her own profile-building comes amid renewed interest in the family's political future, with her mother, Hillary, considered the hands-down favorite to win the Democratic nomination in 2016, should she decide to seek it.

“I deeply respect and appreciate all of the admiration and respect and gratitude for my mother's service,” Clinton said in the NBC interview, which aired Monday morning on the "Today" show. “As a daughter, I very much want her to make the right choice for herself. I know that will be the right choice for our country, and I’ll support her in whatever she chooses to do.”
